You Can Do Anything...Addicted to Stamps and More #205~Photo

As much as I find water-colour lovely, the 'act' of water-colouring continues to elude me. Yes, some 'hits' have come along, but still winding up with too many misses. Learning as I go though, and that's the bonus, even though I have a happy, tummy-filled-to-bursting Mr. Recycle Bin. Again! He is so on a diet!

I decided to take my cue from the inspiration photo's message and *do what I love*, which is die cutting. My background is a series of strips cut from teal-ish paint chip samples, paired with my sentiment from Neat and Tangled, cut three times for dimension, which is hard to see in the photo.. Done! No mess; no fuss; no stress. Happy me! (Hmmm...maybe if I read this sentiment repeatedly, I will conquer my water-colouring issues *grin*)

For plenty of amazing interpretations of this pretty inspiration image, head over to see the DT's takes on the ATSM blog. Afterwards, come play along with us! This week, we're sponsored by

You are so funny. My best advice is... don't think about it, just do it. If you can fake it, you can make it! Not all of us can watercolor like Karin from Peppermint Patty's Papercrafting, but we can strive. Anyway... I love the bold stripes and that visibly dimensional sentiment. A great 'encouragement' card! Bev

Oh Carol, I SO know what you mean about watercoloring. I adore the finished look of so many artist's work, but trying to get there myself is such an exercise in frustration sometimes. I know they say practice, practice, practice, but when you have limited time to play to begin with to dedicate a ton of time only to feed Mr. Recycle Bin to the point he needs to go on a diet...where is the fun in that! That said, you might be a little hard on yourself, too! I absolutely adore your take on doing what you love. Beautiful, bold colors that look stunning. Then that lovely pop of white. Gorgeous card! Thanks for doing what you love! Hugs!! :)

Love your take on the challenge Carol! Those must be some big paint chips!! I stil need to get me some paint chips. lol They work beautiful for your look and I love the die cut sentiment!!! And yes, I can tell it is raised, it looks amazing! Hugs, Brenda

Welcome

Welcome to "Just Me: c", my work-in-progress, new learning space where I dabble in the 'art of the card.' I'm an enthusiastic amateur, with plenty to learn. Sometimes - okay, often - silly 'what was she thinking' things will appear. Thanks for stopping by...
